JOB INTERVIEW TIPS job-interview.net @ www.job-interview.net Looking for a promotion, new job or career change? Re-entering the job market? You’ll soon be facing the job interview. Matt & Nan DeLuca, authors of the best seller "Best Answers to the 201 Most Frequently Asked Interview Questions", and the experts at job-interview.net are here to help you have a winning interview.
Salary What do you expect your starting salary to be? Discussion of salaries and compensation should not be held until an offer is about to be made. With that said, let's look into the real world when this is not the case most of the time. Employers are shopping, trying to guess your price tag. This is one of those screening questions used to either screen in or screen out so a response is important. Have you done your homework? What is the price for this job in the marketplace? Have you checked out classified ads or online ads for similar positions? Are you within the range, given your level of experience? Pegging yourself mentally to the right price is the first step. The second step is sharing this information correctly. Do you have enough information about this new job to determine your salary? If not, state it and ask for the information that is needed. "Before I can discuss salary, I would like to know the reporting requirements and how many people I would be supervising. In addition, what are the skill levels and experience of my staff?" You can also ask "What are others in similar positions being paid?" When you can no longer stall or seek additional information..."Based on what you have told me and exclusive of other compensation elements I feel that the position would warrant a salary range of $________ to $__________". Name a range such as $40,000 to $45,000 to give both sides some wiggle room and allow for some give-and-take when benefits and other compensation is considered. If you know what you are willing to accept as salary and what the market pays, using a salary range should permit you to be negotiable.
